Only details of expression that could have been chosen differently are copyrightable. I don't know how much of that there is in Solarized. If it is all decided based on what works well, maybe none of it is copyrightable. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
